- Her readers voted for this little red number which I thought was cute but a little short for me,

- I went to the fabric store on some zipper errand and came across this really thick double knit viscose-polyester with a perfect drape in red,

- I immediately felt it urgent to make said dress for Christmas,

- I'm very happy I did.

The dress is a mix of 2 patterns, the bodice and skirt are from Burda's Swing Dress 08/2012 #133 and the sleeves/armholes are from Burda's Turtleneck 09/2012 #104B. The skirt has 5cm pleats, is a little longer than Zoe's and I chose long sleeves, it is winter here after all. I kept the ease for seasonal overeating reasons so there was no need for a zipper. I serged almost everything so it went up very quickly and I was right on time for Christmas shenanigans. If you want to make one, hop on over to visit Rosie, she still have the sleeves to set.
